Living with arthritis

Published:16:50Wednesday 12 January 2011

Are you living with arthritis? If you are then the Angus Arthritis Forum invites you to a free health and wellbeing evening in The Conference Suite at Whitehills Health and Community Care Centre in Forfar on Wednesday, January 19 between 6.30pm and 8.30pm.

Angus Community Health Partnership (CHP), in conjunction with the Arthritis Forum, have organised this informal evening and would encourage anyone living with a long-term condition including arthritis, their family and friends to go along for this informal two-hour session.

The evening’s theme will be ‘Helping yourself to help yourself’ and there will be an opportunity to meet healthcare professionals and take part in interactive workshops covering health topics such as physiotherapy, podiatry, nutrition and pharmacy as well as occupational therapy.

During the evening attendees will also have the chance, over a cup of tea, to meet others affected by arthritis and other long-term conditions.

If you would like more information about the evening, please contact Rhona Guild, Angus Community Health Partnership, on 01307 474889.

There are future regular information evenings to be held throughout the year covering a variety of topics of interest.
